Realisnl.

Much of the bitterest suffering of the poor
is due to deplorable ignorance of practical
things. A woman who personally investi-
gated the condition of two hundred destitute
young women in New York, many of them
married and mothers, found only four or
five of them competent to make their own
and their childrens' clothes and only about
the same number able to cook well enough
to make palatable bread. A large proper
ton of the two hundred were idle much of
the time. If they could have cooked or
sewed they could have added greatly to til e
comfort of their families. 1t is notorious
that great proportion of the poorest fam-
lies habitually buy bakers bread, which
costs them much more than flour would cost
besides being less nutritious than good
homemade bread. Mrs. Helen Campbell, in
the course of her researches among the poor
of New York, found sewing-woman and
her daughter who were living in proud hon
esty but extreme sef-denial on less than
S23 month. They had been comfortably
off once, but the husband and father died +,
leaving small debt. They made SIS a
week for awhile, but most of it went to
paying off the debt. which they could not
let stand against the family name. Then
the mother was taken down with rheu-
matte fever, which left her almost helpless
for the rest of her life, and about the same
time the prices for sewing began to fall, and
all the girl could earn was eighty-f cents
day, working twelve to fourteen hours.
The mother had had no shoes in two years.
She kept account of every cent of expendi-
ture, a habit she had acquired in more pros
porous days. Rent took SO month"; leav-
ing Sl2 to S13 for food, coal, light and car
fares to and from work. They had no meat,
save occasionally bit on Sunday. Their
great struggle had been to get money enough
ahead to buy quarter of a ton of coal at a
time, because it cost so much by the scuttle-
full, but they had not succeeded. The most
touching fact in their bitter experience was
their craving for something to read, and
once a month they devoted one cent to the
purchase of a cheap newspaper Work and
Wages
How does that bit of L" realism y
strike one as compared with the farm
ers' wives and daughters, of whose de-
based, down-trodden, slavish condition
of unappreciated and unrequited toll
some writers so feelingly speak? How
true it is that "every heart knoweth its
own bitterness "and every class its own
hardships, while it fancies the ease and
enjoyment only of other callings.

The writer has given the wrong sig
nature. She is not a piece of "drift-
wood" aimlessly following the cur

good common sense, guided by expert
ence and sailing straight for the pole

consignments from her cargo as often
as she can make it convenient to send

sirable in woman's work, and what are
invented or made that are desirable

Treatment of Liver Complaints.

According to Murchison, a careful
regulation of the diet will do more for
one who is afflicted with liver trouble
than all medicine. The foods to be
avoided are the fatty, the saccharine
and the highly seasoned.
Corn, oats, wheat, sage, rice, and
potatoes consist largely Of starch,
which, in the process of digestion, is
converted into sugar. In severe cases
these and kindred substances must be
given up.
As most people would find it ex-
ceedingly difficult long to dispense with
the use of wheat bread, gluten may be
substituted for it; that is, bread made
of wheat from which about two-thirds
of the starch has been removed. The
diet should absolutely exclude clear fat
and sugar.
The quantity of the food is consider
alton hardly second to the quality. Too
much food, of whatever kind, must be
strictly guarded against.
The liver is injuriously affected by
alcoholic liquors generally. These
beverages are to be rigidly prohibited,
especially malt liquors, port wine and
champagne. One would not have sup
posed beer to be worse than brandy,
but it is much worse.
Next to regulating the diet is secur-
ing an abundance of fresh air-sea air
is especially helpful in liver difficulties
and sufficieucy of vigorous exercise.
The action of the skin should be kept
up by frequently bathing the body with
warm water and soap.
It is also beneficial to drink half q
pint of cold water, or water with little
soda in it, on going to bed, and while
dressing in the morning.
Liver diseases. are, however, SO diff
cult and refractory that it is peculiarly
necessary to call in the services of a
good physician as soon as the complaint
has declared itself.
Too many persons are inclined at
once to begin dosing, supposing that
they are bilious" The incautious and
unwise use of medicine at such time
may fasten a chrome disease upon one
who might have been permanently
cured in a few days by proper treat
ment. -COmparliO71.

Kansas Produces Nothing But Wonders.

Just now South Central Kansas is all e1-
element about inland sea bathing in the
Salt Lake near Geuda Springs, Kansas. It
is said to be the only inland salt lake in the
United States except the one in Utah, and is
pronounced by medical experts to contain
properties that make it much superior to
surf bathing.
The springs at that place are also one OF
the strange natural curiosities of this CONT
nent, being seven in number and each diff
ferent in mineral constituents, and are all
situated within space of thirty feet square.
A complete analysis of these springs has
never been made, but the excitement caused
by the cure of several cases supposed here
tofore to be incurable, and notably one OF
them being Addison's disease, for which, 1t
is said by medical works, there is no cure,
has caused the corporation who have recent
~ purchased the springs to employ Prof. T..
II. S. Bailey, Professor of Chemistry, Me-
tallurgy and Mineralogy, in the Kansas State
University, one of the most eminent Chem
lists in this country, to make a critical guam
titative analysis in order to determine each
mineral ingredient and the amount of it,
contained in these mineral waters, and as
soon as completed it will be made public.
In the meantime, the Geuda Mineral Springs
Company, of the town by that name, is be-
ing flooded with inquiries from every state
in the Union, and it now looks as if Saratoga
and other prominent resorts are to be for
gotten in the excitement over this new Kan
saS wonder.

BULLOCK.DRIvNG IN INDIA.

Methods Of tho Hindoo When Urging On
His Lazy Beasts-Plenty Of Abuse.
The handy, q cart drawn by two
small white bullocks. is the common
means of conveyance in India. 1t is
simply broad platform on very high
| wheels covered with mats to keep Oh
the rain and sun from the traveller.
The driver sits astride the cart
tongue, within easy reach OF his bull
locks headquarters. The speed and
endurance of the little raft animals,
says Youths Companion, enables
them to make three miles and quar-
ter an hour for several hours at .
stretch. The driver keeps them going
by complicated system OF eJacula-
tions, slappings, tail-twistings, toe
pokings, goadings, and lashing.
An American, about to hire Lon
don cab. hesitated on seeing raw
spot on the horses shoulder.
"Why, bless your art, sir, l keeps
that raw for hextra times. If gents

hextra shillin', 1 touches the 'orse on

The Hindoo bandy-,lriver has his
last resort. When the DANDY is stuck
in the mud he brings it out by biting
his bullock's tail. A bullock has no
idea of what he can do until he is
bitten.
The driver talks to his bullocks q
great deal. When they do well he
praises them; when they are lazy he
abuses their female relatives, espe-
cially their mothers and sisters. The
following translation of drivers adj
dress to his bullocks gives the drift of
his verbal method of speeding them:
"You, Punniah (the animals name),

must have been q donkey and your
mother a pig; no respectable cow
would own SO lazy son.

"You are the most abominable of all
brutes, and how you came to have
horns and tail is mystery to me.
"Some fine day I shall saw off your
horns and sell them, and instead of
coloring your long tail with goolal I
shall cut it off and sell it to some ras-
cally English dragon to stick to his
helmet and bring him bad luck, for he
is sure to be killed in the first battle
he goes in afterward.
Il wish they were all killed; but
never mind, they soon will be, and
then won't we have jolly times?
"Ah, now you behave something like
respectable animals! That's the way
to get over the ground.
"You, Punniah, are my father and

EXCESSIVE USE OF CONDIMENTS
How can any thoughtful observer
doubt that indigestion, through inn
proper selection and cooking of foods,
brings ill-temper, then enfeebled will
power, and consequent weak resistance
OF temptation, grossness, immortality,
intemperance, insolvency. divorce, in
fanticide, suicide, and all the calamities
of society? What mother will not
shudder at such legion of devils pro-
flaming the fair temple of her child's
body by their occupancy, and what
effort should seem too hard to avert
such sad possibilities?
Do I exaggerate? I hope I do; but
I am sadly familiar with the history of
one life that went out in shame and
pitiful weakness, as confirmed opium
eater, whose appetite was created and
stimulated by the food prepared for her
mothers table, the mother who would
have died for her, and who sits to-day
In her mourning gown, grieving for her
only daughter Rich food, the excessive
use of condiments, wines-this was the
testimony of herself, her husband, and
her physicians-proved the beginning
of her ruin, while her brother, with the
same surroundings, subject to the same
temptations, was unframed by their In
fuence. We call such a circumstance
"an accident" but behind the seeming
accident which harmed one and left the
other unscathed, are subtler reasons
connected with the physiological phe
nomena, the mysteries of which man is
slowly learning to respect.
I watched the struggle between her
womanhood and the serpent which had
ensnared her, and it was pitiful! At
times her broken, enfeebled will would
assert itself, and I dared hope would
triumph, but soon the wandering eye,
the restless manner, the agonizing
craving which burned, she said, "ike
the torture of the damned" would re-
turn, and at last her brave brain, which
had borne the strain for fifteen years,
crumbled and fell in ruins about the
feet of one woman who could hold her
soul in thrall with the music of her
voice as sweet as the song of birds with
a woman's soul in it, and the story of
her life was told.-Good Housekeep,

An. "Adrdnced'' Opinton.,

The equal education of women, says
q writer in the Cincinnati Commercials
Gazette, means her equality in the
learned professions and her equal oc.
cupation of them. It means that mar
riage, maternity, and housekeeping are
not to be her profession. In the
natural order this will evolve q new
and higher order of women, enamel
pated from all that domestic service
which is peculiar to her SEX. and free
of all its impediments to an intellectual,
political, or professional career. In the
intellectual quality it may be like that
social order of the Athenian women in
whom the statesmen, philosophers,
poets, and artists found high intel.
lectual society. In the like Athenian
manner it may relegate the Offices OF
wifehood, maternity, and domesticity
to the order of uneducated women, who
have kept to this pursuit. and whose
capabilities for perpetuating the race
in physical and mental stamina nave
not been impaired by the grinding out
of the years of ripening womanhood by
the confinement and nervous exhaustion
of the collegiate studies.

Physical Culture for Ron,en.

It is now fashionable for women of
society, says writer in the Philadel-
phia Press, to look sturdy and strong
and in perfect health. Physical culture
is one of the amusements of the fash
ionable world. The passing fever of
feminine enthusiasm, slow to rouse but
tenacious of it's idol during the period
of its idolatry, has kindled and died
out many times, but this once believe
it is destined TO burn with steady
glow, for this time it has an abundance
of fuel to feed it. Physical culture;
that means a gymnasium of course, a
gymnastic suit in which one can look
much prettier, because freer and less
restrained, than out of it, and sys-
tematic exercise for the wholesome de-
velopment of the body.
